elevations monday and tuesday. kind of backing off on the shower chances. this area of low pressure will stay offshore throughout the weekend. it's an upper level low and as it stays offshore, it will spill some clouds into the state from time to time. this morning low 0s in the sierra nevada. so it's chilly from truckie to blue canyon, the tahoe valley airport. mid-60s for the afternoon with low 80s fresno, upper 70s sacramento. along the coast it will be mild with numbers in the 60s there. and we will look for temperatures around the bay today to be comfortable with the numbers really not where they should be, but overall it looks like this area of low pressure visiting much of southern california throughout the latter part of the week and for us maybe higher elevation raindrops. golden gate park, a few clouds from time to time and low 60s. we will call it partly cloudy from 1:00 to 4:00 for the hardly strictly blue grass festival. we also have the blue angels in town and temperatures should be in the mid-60s with 70s around

[laughter] >> not guilty, your honor! >> it's my shoe, i suppose, and the chair. notice the numbers, really they don't fluctuate too much. the slight chance of showers with more cloud cover monday and tuesday and that brings the numbers down a couple degrees. then back to fair and mild with 60s and 70s. i don't know what my problem is. maybe another cup of coffee. >> or maybe too much. we don't know which way it's going. lisa, thanks a lot and thank you for not falling. the new i-phone has sold
